The Zambia High Commission in London wishes to warn the public that there is a scam in which unsuspecting individuals are being offered employment contracts by a named multilateral corperation with operations in the United Kingdom.
The jobs were posted in March 2018 on jobwebzambia website for various job positions.
The applicants are being asked to pay £740 for their Permit through a Visa Processing Directorate and asked to send the money via International Money Transfer (MoneyGram or Western Union Money Transfer).
The Mission verified with the named multilateral corperation who confirmed having no knowledge of such employment opportunities but are investigating the scam.
In this regard, the Mission wishes to advise citizens to verify such employment offers with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Zambia or directly contact the Mission on [email protected]
This Press Statement has been necessitated by the increasing number of Zambians who are falling prey to this scam.

Why does the Zambian Embassy keep flying the British flag….?????kissing muzungu’s ass…inferiority complex….
Abigail is just an empty tin but she makes a good comment here. I went at te embassy and met her, she sounded out of her depth.
Here is the truth and learn from me.
Anyone you have never met and asks you to send money through western union = fraud.
Keep it clean and simple next time. Simple as that.
I hold a PhD
Thanks

Very empty statement Abigail. Why would anyone by-pass normal / standard channel of making applications directly through a government department. It’s been the standard from time immemorial. Stop wasting our time and find better to do if you are bored
A fooool and his money are soon parted…so there are people out there willing to part with £740 just like that not even a visa application cost that less.
A lot of people are desperate have jobs overseas. They can easily be swindled. The ministry of foreign affairs should give information freely to interested parties. Do not look down on them as fools but as people who want to better their lives. People who are determined. Fighters and not opportunists.
To fall for this you must be a punk and twit in desperation.
One of those f000ls just posted …
Too many fraudsters and scammers on the net. Some are offering people stuff like latest hp laptops, latest iPhone, latest television sets, etc, etc. If you can send by Western Union, etc, some sizable amount of money!
